DRBC, DEP Team Up To Train Water Suppliers How To Improve Water Conservation, Efficiency, 2 More Scheduled

The Delaware River Basin Commission and the Department of Environmental Protection held the first of three  training sessions for local water suppliers on water loss management at the Bucks County Community College.  Rep. Perry Warren (D-Bucks), who represents the area, provided opening remarks at the session.
“Even though we live in an area with plentiful water resources, water conservation is still important from the source to the tap,” said Rep. Warren.  “Thank you for participating in this training and for working to keep our faucets running and our water clean.”
Water efficiency is a core DRBC resource management initiative.  
The Commission has a robust water conservation program, of which one crucial component is the requirement for public water suppliers to complete an annual water loss audit utilizing the American Water Works Association’s Free Water Audit Software© program for data collection and reporting.  
The software tracks how effectively water is moved from its source to customers' taps, helping suppliers quantify and account for water losses, which may result from: leaking pipes and services, unauthorized uses, and/or inaccuracies with meters that record water delivered from sources and water used by customers.
“As the challenges that face water resource management in the Basin increase, it is essential to ensure that the use of our finite water supplies is efficient and sustainable,” said DRBC Executive Director Steve Tambini. “DRBC’s water audit program is part of the commission's ongoing water resource management efforts to enhance water conservation in the basin and achieve benefits for both the resource and the users.”
The training teaches participants how to use the AWWA Free Water Audit Software© to better understand and mitigate water losses.
All sessions are provided to water managers for free, thanks to funding from the DEP, and are being led by George Kunkel, P.E., Principal of Kunkel Water Efficiency Consulting and co-author of the software program.
